anyone have any opinions on this sub? I'm thinking of buying one for 75 bucks. Is that a good deal? And will 180W RMS be a good amp to power it?

Audiobahn makes very good entry level subs they have a lot good bang for the buck. As far as the amp goes it should be sufficient to power the sub

If you thinking of Fosgate then go to a shop that has both subs. Listen to the both of them and then get which ever one sounds better to you. $75 is about the average price. Which Fosgates are you looking @?

Then if you feel the Fosgate works with what you have, and the price is right get it. You might want to look on eBay they always have some good prices

I just went on eBay and if you can get it locally for $98 then go and get it

if you wanna buy a sub online, then the only place i'd trust is crutchfield cuz of the warranties and reliability. cuz wut if yer sub happens to blow, would you really wanna send it back to IKESOUND or Crutchfield?

try lookin at crutchfield.com/ScratchAndDent or crutchfield.com/outlet

i remember seein an HE fro like 90 bucks
